This report has provided valuable insights into private sector involvement in forest plantation development in Peninsular Malaysia. There is a need to constantly monitor the activities of private forest plantation development in the country. This requires an accurate database that is continuously updated. Although investors currently are faced by a number of problems most of them can be solved to boost the development of forest plantations. Timber from forest plantations is considered the second most important source of raw material for the forest-based industries. The need to find alternative raw material is urgent as the policy of reducing the production of timber from the natural forest is implemented. Therefore, the call for full commitment from all interested parties is louder than ever before. The government alone should not have to shoulder the task of developing forest plantations. Malaysians can work out the issue of forest plantation development together, which would benefit not only the parties involved but also the next generation.
